webuild.exe detected as Trojan from ClamAV

Post by marcus »

My ClamAV for WIN detected the webuild.exe as Trojan.Hupigon-9851. How can happen this?

In this moment I downloaded a fresh install file, scan it again, and ClamAV report webuild.exe as a Trojan again.

Hi Marcus

It will be a false positive; if you are really worried you can upload it to one of the major Anti-Virus sites that check files out for you but I think it is unlikely to be viral.

I've scanned the file again with virustotal.com. And only ClamAV mark the file as Trojan.

I would like to ask you to help us and submit a complaint with your anti-virus vendor. This is very important for them to see that registered users are complaining. Usually such problems are corrected within a couple of weeks, if enough people bother them.
